The Symposium will take place from April 22 to 24, 2026, at University of Calabria. In its first edition, the Symposium aims to provide a space for reflection and interaction through a range of activities, including keynote lectures, parallel sessions, round tables, and other formats designed to foster direct dialogue among diverse stakeholders. The era we live in is marked by multiple and interconnected crises – humanitarian, environmental, social, political and epistemic –, by growing inequalities, loss of biodiversity, the climate crisis and the erosion of the commons. Despite thirty years of rhetoric on sustainability – initiated with the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 – the concrete effects of the thousands of good practices implemented have remained limited. The concept of “sustainable development”, consolidated too quickly, has failed to profoundly modify collective behaviours, production systems and power structures. The 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals represented an important step, but have not succeeded in triggering the necessary structural, cross-cutting and multi-level change.
